Hi, I have an i7-7700 and an i3-7100. I would like to know which one is the best. Thank you very much. Greetings.

The i7 is going to be way better. Intel Core i3-7100 vs Intel Core i7-7700 | CPU comparison here is a quick comparison as for speed cores ect.

Thank you very much. The i7 is a bit better. Greetings.

i7 blows the i3 out of the water

solved. thanks.

So when it comes to power consumption is i3-7100 better

i7's will almost always outperform i3's. A better question would be: "What is more worth its money?"

I forgot to reply it asf! well for what? gaming? or video editing?

I would be looking to AMD..

I don't know about anyone else, but I never buy Intel, and especially wouldn't after their Meltdown backdoor was revealed.

Go with the i7, well ForgottenSeer 58943 is total right i read some group on fb gamers getting buy AMD since Intel CPU is down due to vulnerability also one of my crewmate buy Ryzen 1600 if i were you i would change my mind and think about AMD, good luck

Generally speaking i3<<i7 (unless i7 is an Ultra Low Power version and i3 one is desktop chip)
Just a general rule in the naming of Intel chips, let's take i7-7500U
First letter after series name (i7 here) is 7, which denotes the generation of cpu. Higher the generation better the performance and power savings (So a 8th gen cpu will be better than a comparable 7th gen one eg. i7-8700K is better than i7-7700K).
After that those last 3 digits (500 here) defines the performance level of the chip (higher the number better the performance for comparable chips eg i7-7500U<i7-7600U).
Suffix in the end plays an important role, different characters have different meanings. eg. U- Ultra Low power chip suitable for notebooks and other portable devices.
